I had no idea.

Looking to get my man cave started. With Black Friday around the corner I figured now would be a good time to get a TV for the basement to get my man cave started.

I’m looking for a 75” TV. My main question right now is, does the refresh rate really matter? The TV will 90% of the time be used for sports. There are 60hz TVs on Best Buy for as low as $350 dollars, but for 120hz the cheapest option is like $900. I’m ok with expending the extra cash if there is a notice difference regarding blur etc.

I've seen this being discussed on some other threads and thought it could use its own. You can watch on Flo.

I'm an old man and my memory isn't the best but I don't remember having 2 byes in the same season. I'm curious why the Big XII is doing this. Are there more teams in the conference than TV outlets to televise the games?

Question for all the RV tailgaters…. Are there any free parking areas that are within a reasonable walking distance to the village that people would recommend? We have an RV pass for the KU game and my parents normally park in the MU and walk to our normal lot in C1-C2 so they weren’t interesting in walking from the MU to the village. Thanks in advance!

Can’t say I had a lot from Rogue, Dead Guy Ale and Batsquatch were decent.

This was a fantastic day! As well ahead of what transpired last weekend, but nonetheless, I knew it to be true (Owned= TCU). My daughters, Maggie May and Charlie Paige didn’t even know at the the time, but I felt it! They were there, I was there… but knew what would happen. So, at least I have that going for me. Lol

On episode one of the Fanatic Book Podcast Series, author Chris Williams and editor Rob Gray are joined by Jake Brend to share stories on how 'Fanatic' came together and the timeline of Chris' first book coming together. Williams shares an untold story of what happened to his book notes in Omaha, what you can expect in his book and more.

Preorder the book at fanaticbook.com.

Didn't see any post about this on here. Currently up 9-2!

Curious if anyone knows why mens/womens golf and track & field aren't apart of this?

Sounds like we will have the following lineup.

125 - Stevo - excited to see him in cardinal and gold. Will be great for him to get a match ahead of CyHawk.

133 - Pearson - will be awesome for the true freshman to get a Hilton experience. Personally think this kid will be a stud in the future.

141 - Ech or E Frost - wondering if they weigh Evan in (obviously because he’s on his descent) but also get him a match here.

149 - Paniro - looked great last weekend. Hope he continues the aggressive style.

157 - Zerban or J Frost - sounds like we might see Frost here. I like that. Let Zerban recover from whatever hobbled him last weekend and keep J Frost ready.

165 - Euton - was most impressed with him last weekend, fun to watch.

174 - MJ - hope to see some great leg attacks and leg defense from MJ.

184 - Dean - would like to see more offense from Isaac in this one.

197 - CJ Carter - has a great test with the #1 D2 197. Would be nice for him to show a little something since he’s going to see spot matches this year.

285 - Yonger - I am sure he’s not happy with the way the Amos match went. Has the #1 D2 285, that guy is going to have his hands full with Yonger

THE FLAGSHIP RETURNS TO HILTON.


Giddy uppppppp.

The wife says too big.

My new speakers. Got these vintage Altec Lansing Model 19 speakers for cheap and removed and replaced all the beat up/broken wood veneer, stained them and put a few coats of polyurethane on them. I think they fill the space nicely and sound great.

For size reference, photo is next to a 65 inch TV.

What say you, CF? Too big? Not big enough? Adequate?

Jacqueline Cordova and Ben Visser recap Iowa State’s showing at the Cyclone Invitational, where they crowned eight champions. Connor Euton starts the season hot. Getting into the nitty-gritty of Cyclone Wrestling, courtesy of Fareway Meat & Grocery.

Enjoy!

Headed to state football this weekend... can't believe I'm about to say this, but this will be my first time in the UNI-Dome. Can anyone give me tips on parking locations?

I have been working on a playlist of songs that are just inherently cool. This doesn’t necessarily mean you like them, or that they are your favorite - but that there is just an inherent coolness about them.

Think “Mambo Sun” by T.Rex, “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder, “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” by the Stones.

Do you have any?

I’m not a McAfee fanboy, but this is good publicity:

Hello! What is a good personal finance app for people with disorganized basic finances who are trying to get organized? For now, I'm just looking for something that can handle income and expense categories. It should have some way to import a statement (i.e. quickbooks format or CSV) from an external bank account, or have some way to link to a bank account to get transactions. It would be best if it were an online app with web and phone access. Free would be ideal, but a small monthly fee would be acceptable. For now, we don't need investing capability, just basic household finance. The app should also have a simple report feature (basically to show how money is being spent).

There are alot of internet recommendations for Mint, but it seems that Mint has now been merged into Credit Karma, and Credit Karma requires opening a new "spending" account with CK in order to get access to the banking functions.

Thanks!

$175 - Venmo. PM if interested

Here is Part 2 with another set of players to guess. Good luck! Take it now.
